I'm a denier against my will :( Everything I've experienced so far had an explanation, no matter how terrifying at first. Everything my family has seen also had explanations, even if they're scared about it.

I WANT TO BELIEVE THO. I'm always the one trying to get inside a haunted house, looking up at the sky hoping to catch a glimpse of something, walking around the forest near my house that everyone is convinced is inhabited by some weird fae creature. I'm always there like, HEY HERE I AM. COME OUT. PROVE YOU EXIST. COME ON PLEASE.

if nothing exists, then we live in a very lonely place, and the only dwellers of the universe are us. I want the paranormal to be real. I want a ghost to knock me over and prove it is real. There would be nothing more delightful to me than logic and hard facts losing in the face of the unexplainable, than knowing for a fact that we are less alone than we think, that the world is a far more entertaining place than I've given it credit for.

But I need proof for that, and disgracefully, I don't have that. My older brother is like me, but he doesn't want anything to exist, because that "would alter his view of the universe" and he can't deal with that.

Coward!!! There's nothing better than being hit with the realization that you were wrong, the ground of your every belief shaking and vanishing under your feet.

Send paranormal activity my way, please.

god, that sucks so much!! I admire the attitude but oh man, it must womp severely to always have that explanation you can’t shake. it’s something I can’t even begin to imagine, considering the fact that I seem to be a paranormal magnet. like seriously, even if a place has never been reported haunted before ever, I show up and shit starts going down. it’s like I come pre-programmed with my own poltergeist or something. ghost tour guides should hire me to hang out with them just so everybody really gets a show. I’m kicking about with the god damn shining over here.

obviously there have been a lot of spooky things that have happened to me that have had more mundane explanations -- I’m not the kind of person to just automatically assume ghosts, so I go through all the other potential explanations before I arrive at “fuck yeah, ghosts”. but there have also been so many things I just absolutely cannot explain, and it’s a really cool feeling. to see something/experience something/do something and know that the only explanation exists beyond the bounds of the science we currently understand? it’s amazing, but also frustrating because on the one hand I Want To Know but on the other hand I like living in a world with such mysteries, you know?

I have no idea what your brother is smoking to have that attitude, though. like, respect if that’s how he feels, but the idea that he thinks we live in a rational, predictable universe where everything is explained to begin with? the fact that his belief in the sanctity of the world rests on something as simple as a closet door not swinging open on its own or one (1) prophetic dream? that’s a very precarious balance, and I don’t know if I could live with the constant threat of having that all come crashing down at any moment, lol. he’s the kind of character in a horror novel who would see the ghost and have his hair go totally white with the fright of it, and then be a raving Victorian lunatic for the rest of the novel. meanwhile me and you would be out there like old-timey ghost hunters trying to catch the damn thing in a box or something. sure, neither of these two options look completely sane, but I know who’d be having more fun.
